Under Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, the offense will attack from the line of scrimmage more and have the option to run more up-tempo.
“In a good bit of our offense, we’re able to (play at the line of scrimmage),” Falcons coach Dan Quinn said Thursday. “In Dirk’s system, we are going to be at the line quite a bit.”
The Falcons will have the option to speed things up.
“It’s not always no-huddle fast, but having the ability to be at the line and then go and attack when you want to,” Quinn said. “There is some mental pressure that goes with that. It’s takes extra time and learning for the offensive guys because they not only have to know the play, but a code word that matches with it. It’s takes extra time, but it’s time well spent. It’s worth the sacrifice to spend the extra time.”
